What Is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating gum disease and the supporting structures of the teeth.
Unlike a general dentist, a periodontist has advanced training in managing conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis, performing deep cleanings, and handling complex gum procedures.
Periodontists go beyond routine dental care. While general dentists handle cleanings and fillings, a periodontist treats gum infections, bone loss, and advanced oral health issues.
At Coral Springs Smiles, patients receive specialized periodontal care designed to stop disease progression and preserve natural teeth.
